'Mesostic Remedy' comprises a pair of mesostic poems for each of the thirty-eight original herb remedies that were created by Dr Edward Bach (1886–1936). Printed onto labels for a set of Bach’s remedies and presented in a wooden wall cabinet, the poems reflect the negative and positive characteristics ascribed to each remedy.

A 'mesostic' is composed of horizontal word branches emerging from the trunk of a name. Finlay’s mesostics have been published in 'Mesostic Remedy', a book published by Jupiter Artland in which the poems are accompanied by illustrations of each flower by the artist Laurie Clark.
